Thank you very much, Bruce. How fast! Couple of observations: 1. When scripting, if patch is after the echo's, some fail, script stops. patching file src/feature.h Hunk #4 FAILED at 1316. 1 out of 4 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file src/feature.h.rej Fine if patch is before echo's. 2. Broken http://www2.nl.vim.org/unix/vim-7.3.tar.bz2 http://www2.nl.vim.org/extra/vim-7.2-lang.tar.gz These work ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/unix/vim-7.3.tar.bz2 (this already in both books) ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/extra/vim-7.2-lang.tar.gz 3. In BLFS: typo: tar -xf ../vim-7.3-lang.tar.gz --strip-components=1 s/3/2/ -- []s, Fernando -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
